The map has been updated to reflect the upcoming changes in Barrhaven, adding route 275 and changing route 278, along with any route changes since September.

Ah, I see. I also just noticed they changed the STO routing on the map to show certain trips going via the Macdonald-Cartier bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oc4526 Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Went by Tunneys Pasture this evening and noticed the secand faregate entrance is taking shape. When completed this and the other entrance by the DND building will allow access to the bus loop when the main building/lrt is closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And only 50 meters away from the other entrance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Question: Why are the LRVs numbered 11XX, I feel like I recall this being talked about previously but I cannot find the discussion. Even if someone were to redirect me to that, that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if this indeed the case it would only make sense to renumber the Coradia DMUs for line 2 to, say, 2101-2107. Maybe they would do that once the FLIRTs arrive and get numbered 2200 onwards.

corynv Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 I know someone suggested (idk if it's true or not) that the streetcars ottawa used to have were in series, that 9xx 8xx and the most recent ones being 10xx. So maybe they're continuing that with the line? Something I thought of, though not sure how sound it is, when did the trains start being built, or when was the contract for the trains signed? If either of things werein 2011, maybe they're going to be fleeting them like OC transpo used to do for buses, and what STO currently does?

Maybe they would do that once the FLIRTs arrive and get numbered 2200 onwards. The Trillium Line runs under Capital Railway which might explain the different numbering system. I don't feel like they'll change it. My bet is the FLIRTs will be numbered C10-C16. But why bother with numbers when we can call them by their names? Right?

Jason L Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 On another note related to fleet numbers, I'm surprised you guys don't have any table with details on every LRV here like you have for just about every other fleet https://cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php/Ottawa-Carleton_Regional_Transit_Commission_O-Train_'Confederation_Line' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaGoose Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 I was notified that OC transpo was flying a drone yesterday. Since they are required to notify people who are within 100ft of the filming site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think there’s going to be fare gates there, just a door they might unlock at night. I hope I’m wrong but I just don’t see where they would put them considering the whole entrance looks nothing like the rendering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
